Possible influences discussed include religious paradigms associated with the Appalachian-inspired music of the first album, the apocalyptic impulse of contemporary dystopia, and the evolving role of religious imagery within postmodern pluralism. Ultimately, it is argued that despite the areligious content of The Hunger Games, the series' literary genre and cultural context facilitate the blending of the sacred and secular in ways unexpected but not incongruous.
